Ouuh, what a shame that i didnt found this thread earlier. Im from germany and maybe the only one here that is in to the harlequin project. I got w clutches over the last 2 years from my harlequin female. Everytime i got visible offspring.
2009 it was harlequin x pinstripe and also x yb. 3 Pins and one "normal" hatched.
One Pin was clearly a cross, the "normal" could be YB Harlequin. I will test this year:

Mon is direct from Africa. So maybe it is a different line. The Harmony (Harlequin Mojave) is the same like amirs harlequin Mojave. But i never saw his Harlequins.
So here are my thoughts:
- Harlequin, or at least my line, is dominant or co-dominant. I got 4 Eggs in the inkubator right now. Hopeing to see a super?
- My Harlequins are not "wide-stripe".
- What i can tell is that the Harlequin gene works like a colorpusher. The Crosses are just amazing in color and blushings. A Harmony next to a Mojave is easy to tell even if you have never seen one before.
- There are many, many snakes out there that look like harlequins or similiar. But not many are really genetic. So that makes it so hard to get into the project.
- Markers: Dots or Keyholes. Belly - White with black line on both sides (like described before)m blushed out head (rusty look), and a "look" i have no words for in english
Thanks, Sito
